Compiling .cpp file with Intel C++ Compiler error

[devedse]

Hi Everyone, I've only been playing around with C++ for 2 days now. I've started creating a small program in Visual Studio 2013 which compiled fine.

I however read about different compilers being available for C++ so I wanted to give the Intel compiler a try.

During the installation it requested a Windows SDK path which contains the folders "Lib", "Bin" and "Include". After researching a bit on the internet it seemed most likely to enter "C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.0"

When I now run the C++ compiler though with the following command:
"D:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\Compiler\11.1\054\bin\intel64\icl.exe" Main.cpp
I receive the following error:

Intel(R) C++ Intel(R) 64 Compiler Professional for applications running on Intel
(R) 64, Version 11.1    Build 20091130
Copyright (C) 1985-2009 Intel Corporation.  All rights reserved.

icl: warning #10114: Microsoft Visual C++ not found in path
Main.cpp
Main.cpp(1): catastrophic error: could not open source file "string"
  #include <string>
                   ^

compilation aborted for Main.cpp (code 4)

It looks like I'm missing the default libraries. Does someone have any idea on how to resolve this issue?

Why not just run the compiler from VS?
